Eyecam should encourage people to think about the use of technology

The ‘Eyecam’ aims to make us think about how we use technology A webcam that looks like a human eye and also mimics its functions is the focus of a research project at Saarland University in Germany. 14 April 2021 © Marc Teyssier Laptops with built-in webcams, smartphones with cameras and voice assistants, Alexas, Siris, Google Assistants, Telekom Smart Speakers and so on, the list of technical devices that are supposed to make our lives easier and more beautiful is getting longer almost by the day. In addition, there are surveillance cameras not only in public but increasingly also at home – and even cameras in refrigerators and televisions. By now, people have become accustomed to it and hardly think about the fact that these cameras and assistants are constantly seeing and hearing everything we do and say.

Nightmarish Eyecam Is a Reminder of Intrusive Surveillance

Read Time: Microphones and cameras are installed everywhere these days: in smartphones, laptops, even in refrigerators and televisions. Many people are now used to their presence and no longer see them for what they actually are - omnipresent eyes and ears. A team of computer scientists from Saarland University uses an innovative design approach to critically question sensor technology that has become commonplace. With Eyecam they now present the prototype of a webcam that not only looks like a human eye, but imitates its movements realistically. The goal of our project is not to develop a better design for cameras, but to spark a discussion. We want to draw attention to the fact that we are surrounded by sensing devices every day. That raises the question of how that affects us, says Marc Teyssier. In 2020, the French scientist completed his doctorate on the topic of anthropomorphic design in Paris. Now he is a postdoctoral researcher in the Human-Computer Interaction Lab
